Thanks for this article. i do want to add that something is missing, in the post request example, the variable $curl_response contains a string which is a cmbination of the, request info, header and body, my question is,
how does one get the response body alone?.
is there a function for doing so? thanks.
[Edit] i found a way to do this, but not really confident it would work for all cases
